I have a 2003 Camry LE 4 cyl with 71,400 miles on it, and have owned it since new. Last week my wife reported the AC not blowing cold and the AC button light blinking. I was just informed by my local Toyota dealer (to which I "had" to take it, according to both the owner's manual and the service tech where I first took it for diagnosis) that I need a new compressor and clutch to get my AC to work again.  Is this typical, or a problem Toyota had that year? Is there a TSB or "secret warranty" for this? I am disappointed because this is my first Toyota, and I bought it over another Hyundai Sonata because of the perceived better reliability. Between this and the squawking steering column, it has not worked out very well. Am I looking at any other "weak link" repairs before I hit 100,000 miles?!!  Thanks -- I appreciate any and all input!

I have a 2007 Camry with 31,000 miles. Since about 10,000 miles the A/C fan has behaved erratically. On long trips the air slows and speeds up. At times it seems as if the AC fan gets tired and can't get up to its full speed. It has been in to the dealer 4 times. Each time they could not duplicate the problem and could not find anything wrong. This last time I had to contact the service manager and have him compare my car to another one at the dealership to get my complaint taken seriously. They replaced the air filter($53.00) and have ordered a part called an "A/C accelerator", but it is back-ordered for weeks. I drove another 07 rental today and the air output difference was enormous. Anyone else with this kind of problem or advice?

My 2000 Camry was blowing ice-cold air. Immediately after I changed out one of the headlights it stopped working. When pressed, the AC button light turns green but the AC clutch won't engage. I think it's probably just a fuse, but I don't know where it is... can someone please tell me where the AC fuse is located on a 2000 Camry? Thanks in advance! Chris
